I have a56k modem. Should I even bother trying to D/L Musicology?

If I were to go to the Musicology room and D/L the album could I do it a track at a time or once I've started the D/L will it do all 12 tracks at once?

I had anticipated that it would be possible to purchase 1 track at a time but this doesnt seem to be the case.

If it's a "one click to D/L the entire album" scenario then I can see that with a 56k modem I'll be using my phone line all night and even then it might not have finished!!

If it had been the one track at a time scenario then I could gradually D/L the album over the next week or so.

Has anyone who's downloaded so far got any info? Could I do it 1 track at a time or not? Anyone with a 56k modem even tried to download yet?

It's one track at a time Matt, but I am not sure if you can re-access the download page over a period of time. I am still downloading so I will let you know more when I have finished. But I wouldn't fret, it really isn't worth all the hype, I am really fookin' dissapointed!!

I downloaded the album no problems. Just cued them up 3 or 4 at a time and did over the space of a few hours. It's slow but possible.

Can't seem to get my two singles now though. Surely I didn't have to do it all at one time. That'd be silly.
